You can still do the reality -1 option on UV reality flavor. I've
suggested in the past (Ardent? Vmark? Who remembers?) to allow it on
other flavors as well, to no avail.

I used to do this thing that Chuck is advocating, but found that for
very long strings, the LEN(..) function was expensive. So I always
use 32200 for "until the end" and ensure that strings never go over
this artificial 32K. (Of course, there are variations were such a
thing to happen, but it doesn't happen at least in anything that I've
designed.)
Some platforms (Reality, maybe?) had the -1 option on substring
extractions; I thought that was clever. Too bad it never caught on,
or if it did, I didn't notice.

Mark,
I usually split the difference and use:
NEW="ABC":REC[15,LEN(REC)]
It will always exceed (NEW="ABC":REC[15,1000000] could
theoretically truncate) but it rarely exceeds by a ridiculous amount.
